Hey Guys :)
Firstly can i just say bye bye Winter!!!
So now that we are finally able to wave goodbye to winter and with spring peeking round the corner everything in my make up bag (and wardrobe) is changing! Out goes the deep reds and dark smokey eye colours & in comes the pinks & corals and the light & bright eye colours :)!!
This make up look is the one i have found my self wearing every day for the last couple of weeks and i am really liking it. It's a fresh & flawless look that gives your skin a nice dewy glow too it.
So firstly starting off with a cleansed and moisturized face i use my Benefit Porefessional Primer all over my face and let it set into my skin for a couple of minutes. Then taking a damp Beauty Blender i put a thin layer of Revlon Colorstay 24hr foundation for combination/oily skin in the shade 180 sand beige all over my face. I find a little goes along way with this foundation, you can always add a second layer if you want more coverage but i personally think one layer is just right. I then take Revlon Colorstay concealer in 02 light pale and conceal under my eyes, around my nose, on my chin and on any other little problem areas i have on that day, then i blend it all in with the pointy end on my Beauty Blender. Taking a damp Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge, i use MAC's Cream Colourbase in Diamonds from the RiRi Hearts MAC collection and dab it along the tops of my cheek bones giving them a nice glow. (This exact product is no longer available but MAC has similar colours to choose from in their pernament line.) Using the opposite end on the Real Techniques sponge, i take my Sleek cream blush in the shade Cupcake from the blush by 3 palette Sweet Cheeks and dab it onto the apples of my cheeks then i lightly blend it out with my fingers.
(TIP ALERT: if you find your blush is to heavy or bright, take whatever you used to apply your foundation and go over the blush with what product is left on either your brush or Beauty Blender it will tone it down so you don't have to walk around with blush you don't like.)
For my eyes i always prime them with UrbanDecay primer potion. Taking a Deluxe Crease brush from Real Techniques i blend MAC's Phloof! all over my eyelids. Than on the same brush i use MAC's Satin Taupe on the outer corner and lightly through the crease. I love the Daniel Sandler longlasting waterproof eyeliner in black velvet, (it's one of my holy grail products!) I use it on my top & bottom water lines everyday and find it stays on for the majority of the day as well. Along my top lash line i use Eyeko's Skinny Liquid Liner in black. I'm not keen on really heavy eyeliner for a day time look so i tend to stick to a thin line an a small flick. My mascara is Maybelline The Falsies Flared in black, I don't think i could live without this mascara. I love it!! For my eyebrows i have been using MAC's Charcoal Brown again, i forgot how much i lived this product for my brows!!! Then i top it off with some Benefit Gimme Brow in Light/Medium.
For my lips i have been loving my Bobbi Brown lipstick in Hot Tutu and then putting a little UrbanDecay Naked lipgloss in the shade Lovechild over the top.
Then last but not least, i finish it all off with a few sprays of UrbanDecay All Nighter Setting Spray.
I hope you like my everyday spring time look, let me know in the comments below what you guys think :)
